Ever wondered why your cat expects you to treat her like a goddess? Might be because she knows Bast. In ancient Egypt, this purr-fect goddess ruled houses and temples alike. As a cat-headed goddess, Bast rules over joy, passion, pleasure, and happiness; but she also has a scary, lion-headed form with which she goes to war with the pharaohs. Watch your back with this one.

Parents
I like to think of Ra as my Father, but I'm not sure if he really is. Some people say I'm the firstborn daughter of Atum, who is Ra's father. Does that make us sister and brother? Never met my mom, either.
Siblings
None
Children
All the cats of the world, everywhere, are my children. Some people say that Ma'ahes (Mihos) is my son, but really he's the son of Sekhmet. We get mistaken for each other a lot.
Red Dwarf Cat's looking dangerous! Tom and Jerry I could watch these two all day. Some days, I have! The Voice Watching all these people put so much passion into their music is inspiring. Tutenstein I love how Luxor usually ends up saving the day.
